Chapter 173
Aside from Lin Moyu, he was the one with the least to do in the team.
At this moment, a large number of teams had already been eliminated from the preliminary selection.
The names of many teams turned gray and then vanished from the light screen.
The rankings of the various teams on the light screen were constantly changing.
Lin Moyu's team's pace of advancement was not particularly fast; they had remained in the middle, which was quite stable.
Bai Yiyuan was also observing this preliminary selection.
"What is Little Lin doing? Why is he moving so slowly?"
"Others have already reached 40 points, so why is Little Lin's team only at 23? What's going on?"
"Old Meng, can't you reveal a little something?"
Meng Anwen firmly refused, "No."
"Besides, this preliminary selection isn't about who is faster; as long as they can clear it in the end, that's all that matters."
"Don't tell me you don't have confidence in Little Lin?"
Bai Yiyuan laughed heartily, "What a joke. Little Lin has the makings of a champion; how could a mere preliminary selection stump him?"
"Then that settles it, why are you so anxious?" As the overseer of Shenxia Tower, Meng Anwen was perfectly clear about everything happening inside the tower.
He naturally knew that Lin Moyu hadn't lifted a finger and had been watching the show the entire time.
Otherwise, they would have already passed the preliminary selection.
Watching more and more teams getting eliminated, Bai Yiyuan asked, "Isn't the elimination rate you set too high?"
Meng Anwen said softly, "It's not high. Those who were eliminated are basically teams with an average level below 23. Even if such teams weren't eliminated here, they would be the first to be eliminated in the competition."
"There is also a portion of teams whose coordination is abysmal; there is no use in keeping such teams."
"The goal of the preliminary selection is to pick out teams that are excellent in all aspects. Moreover, the difficulty I set is not high; even if the team's level is a bit low, as long as they have good teamwork, they can get through."
Bai Yiyuan sighed with feigned helplessness, "Fine, you have more to say, you win."
…
Finally, they waited for five Abyssal Demon Dogs to appear at the same time.
Jiang Taotao shouted sharply, "Control!"
Miao Yu and Duan Gao made their move simultaneously.
Both the Elder and the Prophet possessed the same skill: Wind Shackles.
The two of them locked onto one each, directly restraining the Abyssal Demon Dogs.
However, their levels were too low, and the duration they could control the targets with Wind Shackles was quite short, only 30 seconds.
But for Jiang Taotao and Ning Yiyi, 30 seconds was enough.
Jiang Taotao quickly lured the remaining three Abyssal Demon Dogs over, creating an opportunity for Ning Yiyi.
The team's coordination was excellent.
They quickly wiped out the five Abyssal Demon Dogs.
With the addition of Miao Yu and Duan Gao, dealing with five Abyssal Demon Dogs was even easier than before.
Jiang Taotao also roughly understood her own limits.
Without relying on others, dealing with four Abyssal Demon Dogs at the same time was her limit.
Ever since Miao Yu and Duan Gao started participating in the combat, the team's pace of advancement had noticeably sped up.
This time, Lin Moyu really became the odd one out, truly having nothing to do.
Lin Moyu was actually quite curious about this feeling of standing on the sidelines, following behind the team at a leisurely pace.
Lin Moyu's team's ranking began to rise.
They gradually caught up.
They gradually moved from the middle to the front.
Finally, they ranked within the top 1,000 of their group.
At this point, more than half of the 30,000+ teams in their group had already been eliminated.
Fewer than 10,000 remained.
Six… seven… eight Abyssal Demon Dogs appeared at once.
After all, Jiang Taotao and the others were too low-leveled, and facing the constantly increasing pressure, the fighting became harder and harder.
Miao Yu panted lightly; she had to focus on both crowd control and healing.
For her, the pressure was significant.
Duan Gao was about the same.
An hour had passed since the start of the preliminary selection, and everyone's status buffs were beginning to fade, requiring replenishment.
Duan Gao drank a bottle of Spirit Potion, replenishing everyone's status.
After the status buffs were replenished, Duan Gao sat down on the ground with a thud.
Duan Gao looked helpless, "My mental energy is used up."
Miao Yu also said softly, "I have 300 mental energy left."
Without mental energy, one cannot cast skills.
Ning Yiyi also said softly, "I'm about the same."
Although an Assassin's skills have a very low consumption of mental energy.
But Ning Yiyi had to maintain her stealth state for sneak attacks, so her mental energy was also being consumed rapidly.
Originally, her mental energy attribute was not as strong as those of mage-type classes, so holding out until now was already not easy.
Jiang Taotao also panted, "How about we take a break for a while?"
Ning Yiyi shook her head, "Or we can leave the rest to Moyu; we've fought enough anyway, and we've tested what we needed to test."
Duan Gao raised his hand, "I agree, I agree with both hands and feet."
Miao Yu nodded, "That's about enough."
Hearing her teammates say this, Jiang Taotao couldn't help but look at Lin Moyu, "Troubling you, Junior Lin."
Lin Moyu waved his hand, "It's only right."
As he spoke, three Skeleton Warriors appeared in front of him.
They ran forward with a clattering sound.
Eight more Abyssal Demon Dogs appeared ahead.
The Skeleton Warriors rushed forward, blades fell, and one Abyssal Demon Dog was killed on the spot.
Level 27 Skeleton Warriors, with 30 times attribute amplification, had 22,500 in all four stats.
Dealing with these weakened versions of Abyssal Demon Dogs that were only level 27.
—Seeking Flowers—
It was simply one strike per kill.
They didn't even need skills; it was instant, in a word.
In no more than a second, the eight Abyssal Demon Dogs had already been killed.
Jiang Taotao and the other two looked at each other in dismay.
They had discussed various tactics and fighting styles, working so hard.
And yet, in front of Lin Moyu's Skeleton Warriors, it was just a matter of one strike.
This made them feel that their various tactics were laughable.
Truly, comparing people to people only leads to frustration.
Ning Yiyi comforted them, "Don't be disappointed, Moyu's skeletons have always been very strong. They can even kill a Level 40 High-level Demon."
Ning Yiyi's counterproductive comfort made the three of them even sadder.
Duan Gao shouted, "Don't mind me, let me go cry for a while."
With Lin Moyu, the team's pace of advancement sped up once again.
Their score began to rise rapidly.
At this moment, the scores of the few teams ranked at the very front of their group had stopped changing.
Their points had uniformly reached 200.
Which meant that they had killed 200 Abyssal Demon Dogs.
As for why the score had stopped moving, many people could guess.
They had reached the final stage of the assessment: the BOSS battle.
…
Now it depends on who can take the lead.
A BOSS is not easily dealt with.
It not only tests the team's coordination but also the team's overall combat ability.
Every team had pulled out all the stops to take down the BOSS.
Lin Moyu and the others finally arrived in front of the BOSS.
"As expected, it's a Dog Demon."
It had a wing and the appearance of a wolf-dog.
It was exactly the same as the Dog Demons Lin Moyu had killed before.
As for its attributes, Lin Moyu couldn't be bothered to look; there was no need.
The Dog Demon stood at the end of the corridor with nine Abyssal Demon Dogs, waiting for the arrival of Lin Moyu and the others.
Jiang Taotao became nervous again, "Is this an Abyssal Demon?"
Ning Yiyi said, "This is called an Abyss Dog Demon, but it's not a true Abyss Dog Demon. A real Abyss Dog Demon is more powerful than this."
Miao Yu asked in a low voice, "Can Junior Lin defeat it?"
Ning Yiyi laughed, "He has killed quite a few Dog Demons."
The others showed expressions of shock.
Jiang Taotao believed Ning Yiyi's words, "I didn't expect Junior Lin to be so powerful."
At this moment, the three Skeleton Warriors had already rushed in front of the BOSS.
The nine Abyssal Demon Dogs simultaneously launched an attack towards the Skeleton Warriors.
Sharp teeth bit tightly into the bones of the Skeleton Warriors.
The Skeleton Warriors unleashed their skill, a red light flashed on their blades, and they instantly killed three Abyssal Demon Dogs.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With three consecutive explosions, there was no longer any Dog Demon, only corpses remained.
"Assessment passed!"
A majestic voice rang out, and the group was sent to the outside world.
Lin Moyu's team, which was originally ranked outside the top few hundred, suddenly shot to the top as if they had taken a small rocket.
The score behind them had already reached 300.
Lin Moyu's team held the top position, their names becoming very dazzling.
The remaining teams that managed to clear it could only rank behind Lin Moyu's team.
